Re: wanted: your old NAT home router

[Lars Eggert <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

a quick status update. We now have received over 100 donated home gateways, plus a DSLAM. The students are on their summer break, after which we'll start running a significantly expanded set of tests over this much larger population of devices.

Many of yo have donated boxes and suggested more experiments and better ways of performing our current tests - thank you!

In case you are attending IETF-78 in Maastricht and would like to donate a home gateway, simply bring it. (Or contact me now for shipping details; no cost to you.)

We're especially interested in devices from outside the EU and North America, or any other model we may not have yet (see http://fit.nokia.com/lars/tmp/2010-hgw-study-devices.txt). And we're still lacking a CMTS for testing cable modems...

See you in Maastricht,
Lars
